DATE IN HISTORY



April 2, 1892 a general alarm was sounded at 3 a.m. for a fire which destroyed the two story dwelling at the corner of Main and Butler Streets. The unoccupied structure belonged to the Lonergan Estate. This was the second attempt to burn it. There was no insurance. The town council offered a reward of $100 for conviction of the incendiary.
